The role of leishmania proteophosphoglycans in sand fly transmission and infection of the Mammalian host. [PDF]
, 2012 Leishmania are transmitted by the bite of their sand fly vector and this has a significant influence on the virulence of the resulting infection. From our studies into the interaction between parasite, vector, and host we have uncovered an important ...

Study on the Occurrence of Genetic Exchange Among Parasites of the Leishmania mexicana Complex
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 In Leishmania, genetic exchange has been experimentally demonstrated to occur in the sand fly vector and in promastigote axenic cultures through a meiotic-like process.

The Role of Interleukin-10 in Susceptibility of BALB/c Mice to Infection with Leishmania mexicana and Leishmania amazonensis [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2003 Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated the critical role of IL-10 in susceptibility to cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major and Leishmania donovani, respectively. To determine whether IL-10 also plays a similar role in the susceptibility and pathogenesis of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by the New World ...

Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease, 2022 Introduction: Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that manifests as three major disease phenotypes: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral. In this preliminary study, we quantified virulence factor (VF) RNA transcript expression in Leishmania ...

Distinct roles in autophagy and importance in infectivity of the two ATG4 cysteine peptidases of leishmania major [PDF]
, 2013 Macroautophagy in Leishmania, which is important for the cellular remodeling required during differentiation, relies upon the hydrolytic activity of two ATG4 cysteine peptidases (ATG4.1 and ATG4.2).

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1991 Female Lutzomya longipalpis were exposed to infection by three different species/strains of Leishmania. When the insects were dissected four days after exposure, stained preparations were made of the flagellates contained in the digestive tract.

Complete set of mitochondrial pan-edited mRNAs in Leishmania mexicana amazonensis LV78 [PDF]
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2010 Editing of mRNA transcribed from the mitochondrial cryptogenes ND8 (G1), ND9 (G2), G3, G4, ND3 (G5), RPS12 (G6) was investigated in Leishmania mexicana amazonensis, strain LV78, by amplification of the cDNA, cloning and sequencing. For each of these genes, extensively and partially edited transcripts were found to be relatively abundant compared to the
